Bluetooth hangs, keyboard disconnects
location: 7forums.com - date: July 13, 2009
Dell E6400
Windows 7 x64 7229
Dell Bluetooth 370
I connect up a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and the mouse works fine but as soon as I hook up a keyboard there is a strange hanging issue.
I will type something on the keyboard and when I go to use the mouse it will take anywhere from 1 to 2 seconds for the mouse to move. The same thing then goes for the keyboard if I go to type something. It will take 1 to 2 seconds for anything to show up on the screen after I go from mouse to keyboard.
A good chunk of the time the keyboard will not work and I have to re-pair it.

Eliminate User Account Control password requirement when disabling the Wireless Network Connection
location: microsoft.com - date: February 19, 2013
I am using a separate account to the administrator account for safety goodness. Using this separate account of course limits installation of programs and stuff done to W7. I am constantly disabling the Wireless connection because I am tethering from a
smart phone and the wireless sometimes messes up and disabling and enabling the connection seems to get it kicking back again. The constant disabling and enabling game has become a pain because I need to be constantly writing the admin. password over and over
again. Is there a way I can disable the password requirement when disabling the Wireless Connection in the account?
Thanks guys for stopping by and taking your time to read this. Hopefully you can lend a hand. Thank you.

Is there any way to handle ICS(Internet Connection Sharing) in C# code or by registry in Windows 7?
location: microsoft.com - date: May 8, 2013
Hi,
I'm developing simple Hosted Network Service.
As we know, Hosted Network needs ICS but I can't find how to handle it in C# code or by registry.
In windows XP, there is a registry for using ICS on this path.
- HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ICSharing\Settings\General
However, I can't see any registry for using ICS in windows 7 or 8.
Question.
I wonder there is any way to handle ICS in C# code or by registry in Windows 7 or 8?
Thanks for your help!

bluetooth driver and keyboard drivers are corrupt but I cant remove them FIXED solution added
location: microsoft.com - date: June 20, 2013
Solution
I fixed this by restoring my complete hard drive from a two week old back up - I do this every week but wanted to be sure I was clear of the problem by going back one week more. The blue tooth adapter was visible again and although the keyboard didnt work this
time I was able to remove it from devices and then re-install worked!

I have asked about this once and posted more information (maybe too much!) and no further reply. I have windows 8 pro (it was a clean install and has worked fine for several months) Until last week I was using a logitech bluetooth keyboard with a generic

Is there a way of totally disabling F1 hotkey ?
location: 7forums.com - date: June 25, 2011
I find myself never referring to the Windows helper in case I have a problem, like I'm doing now. Microsoft's help is a bit too 'conservative' imo, and thus I'd like to disable it from popping up every time F1 is pressed.
Is there a way to do that ?
Thanks in advance
P.S. searching for anything containing 'F1' is useless since it ignores short terms of the like (it seems to behave so here at least).

Any way to switch of hyperthreading in registry?
location: 7forums.com - date: February 11, 2010
Hi,
I urgently need to switch off hyperthreading on my HP Pavilion DV6 core i7 720qm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit!
As I need to run a very processor intensive simulation software that only uses one thread and is taking minutes or hours for certain simulations, I am hoping to find a way to use at least a full core and not a half one.
I am not so lucky with my InsydeH2o BIOS F13 which has a only a handfull of adjustment options like system time and date but certainly no hyperthreading (HT)
I know you can turn off processors in the msconfig but that is not the same - windows still devides the remaining physical cores...
Booting into EFI shell would be another options as HT could be switched off there but I don t know how to addvideo help | post reply | read more

Windows 8 Keyboard - Split Keyboard grayed out and Icons way too big
location: microsoft.com - date: November 20, 2012
Hi
I am having a weird problem. My Windows 8 Touch Keyboard has mysteriously "fattened" up so that it fills the entire bottom half of the screen. Usually, the touch keyboard is somewhat centered in the center of the display with margins at the sides, but for
me, there are no margins. My keyboard used to be normal. Also, when I am trying to split my keyboard, the Split Keyboard option is grayed out. I can recall only one system change, which is I installed the Wacom Tablet PC driver.
Please respond.
Thanks
UPDATE 11/19/12
I have just found out that you can resize the keyboard in Windows 8 Dev Preview from the split keyboard screen. Can you do this in the release version?video help | post reply | read more
